Changes in version 0.3a:
------------------------
* - New logo, made of mosaic graphics characters :-)
* - Several routines converted to machine code, and a more
efficient method of generating and calling the m/c routines
used. This has quite substantially speeded-up most of the
previously very slow tasks. There is more work to do in this
area, but it is getting better!
* - Songs that overwrite the system or BASIC areas are now
supported. This makes several more files playable, including
Matthew Westcott's superb Acoustic Dreams, and a lot of 48K
beeper tunes.
* - Added an option to load a new AY file directly from
playback mode: Just push 'F' during playback (interrupt-driven
songs only, obviously). This makes the full complement of
playback controls as follows:
'N' jumps to the next tune,
'P' for the previous tune,
'R' rewinds the current tune to the beginning,
'L' returns to the list.
'F' loads a new AY file from tape.
Also, numbers 1 to 9 jump directly to tunes 1-9 respectively,
while '0' jumps to tune 10. Any other key has the same function
as 'N'. Note that the controls are only available for interrupt-
driven tunes.
* - A few cosmetic changes.

SpecAY 0.3a Released
Posted By: icabod, Thursday, August 31, 2006 - 10:26 AM
Just seen that SpecAY has been updated (it was also mentioned in the WOS forums. If you've not already heard of this program, it used to be called SpeccyPlayer. Still no? Well it's a program that allows you to play .AY music on a real ZX. Nice, eh? v0.3a brings with it some speed-ups to several routines, and also makes the program "safer" when playing tunes which require overwriting the BASIC or System areas. The full list of changes are below, but you can ignore them... just go download the program, stick it onto a CF card, and play hours of music stupidly loud. Yes.
